Went out yesterday for some Lake Michigan Perch and got skunked. I figured I should try and catch something easier, so I went out to the Fox Chain for a couple hours. I was casting a 1/6oz chartreuse weedless jig tipped with a large Tuffy fathead (left over from yesterday). After a while I started drifting a fluorescent pink jig with a minnow 4' under a bobber about 40' behind my boat. I picked up this nice solid male Eye that measured 15.75" (Popeye, how did you know it was a male? Cause he was happy to see me... Now I have to wash the boat.)

About 100' later, the jig under the bobber was hit. Just as I netted that fish, the other rod took a solid hit and I hurriedly boated and released (hence no picture) what looked to be about a 12" Small Mouth. The other rod was stripped of it's minnow. Just a short time later my wife called and asked if I would like to go to the movies this afternoon. Since I had removed the skunk from the boat, I decided to release the Walleye and head home. So I brought home nothing but a few minnows (here trout, trout, trout), but that Mr. Walleye got to spend some time in my live well. If I would have gotten a second one, we would be having Walleye for dinner instead of Chicken Fried Steak. Course, I likes me some Chicken Fried Steaks too.

Fished from 8:00 until 1:00 in the same area as on Friday. Again the bite got better as the day went on. Fished 1/64 oz jigs under a bobber with waxies in 3- 5 fow. Colr didn't matter on the plastic tales, I think they were only interested in the waxie! cleaned 49 fish only 2 Crappies in the bunch. E

Chicken Fried Steaks were put on hold as we kinda pigged out on popcorn at the theater and decided on sammiches for dinner. CFS is set for Wednesday night now.

atta boy Pops!!! You prefishing for that tourney already? Hmmm...nice day wed...can you say....Inland trout?

I wouldn't say prefishing exactly, but I was in one of the areas that we will probably visit when we do go out. Even the guy putting his dock in didn't scare the fish away. I have a few minners (heavy dozen) left over for Wednesday. As of this afternoon, they were doing fine (after I changed out some water and got the ammonia levels down again).
